The problem with claims that a retrofit was done is that without provenance in the form of paper work, contact with the shop that did it, or registration with LN, you can pretty much bet it is BS.

I don’t have an invoice for the IMS bearing, but I do have a service sheet from the shop stating all the work they have done to the car which includes the IMS bearing. The shop also confirmed with me that they only use LN IMS bearings.
